Volunteers make cancer fundraiser a success

Opinion: Who is behind success of Boutique at the Rink?

I would like to thank everyone who supported the Boutique at the Rink during its 41st year by donating clothing, housewares, sporting goods and other items, and for coming to the sale days. The proceeds go to the Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley, St. Luke's Cancer Center and St. Luke's Hospice.

I would also like to congratulate our co-chairs, Jan Connell, Karen Hein and Sharon Kunsman, for a great job, along with Maureen Cort, our scheduler, plus our department heads and all those volunteers who spend numerous hours unloading the cars, sorting items and hanging and pricing them all through the month of May. They worked on a cold cement floor. Some days it was too hot in the rink, and some days it was too cold. In addition, I want to congratulate the volunteers who worked tirelessly on sale days. Many volunteers worked from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. I am honored to be part of this organization.
